This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

I.Thb skeleton of Charles Byrne^ known by the name of O'Brien,
the Irish Giant. /
The following record of his death is extracted from the Annual Register
Chronicle, June 1783. Vol. XXVI. p. 209.
'' In Cockspur Street, Charing Cross, aged only 22, Mr. Charles
** Byrne, the famous Irish Giant, whose death is said to have been pre-
'' cipitated by excessive drinking, to which he was always addicted, but
'' more particularly since his late loss of almost all his property,
'' which he had simply invested in a single Bank note of £700.
'' Our philosophical readers may not be displeased to know, on the
'' credit of an ingenious correspondent who had opportunity of informing
'' himself, ths^t Mr. Byrne, in August 1780, measured eight feet; that in
'' 1782 he had gained two inches ; and after he was dead, he measured
" eight feet four inches.
'' Neither his father, mother, brother, nor any other person of his
*' family, was of an extraordinary size."
It has been said, that in his last moments he expressed an earnest
desire that his ponderous remains might be sunk out at sea ; but if such
were his wish, it was never fulfilled, as Mr. Hunter obtained his body
before interment of any kind had taken place.

2. Skeleton of an adult male^ of ordinary stature^ five feet eight inches
in height.

3. Skeleton of an adalt male^ five feet ten inches high.
This^ and the preceding skeleton, may serve as fair examples for
comparison with that of O'Brien.
Hunterian
4. Skeleton of Tera Poo, a native of the Island Otaheite, or King
George the Third's Island, in the South Pacific Ocean.
This man was a patient in the London Hospital, and died of exten-
sive disease of the lungs ; their structure was almost entirely destroyed
by tubercles, many of which were in a state of suppuration.
The body was obtained for the purpose of preserving the skeleton, and
the very beautiful examples of tattooed cutis it afforded ; of which there
are three specimens preserved in the Gallery of the Museum.
The third true rib of the left side is bifid at its sternal articulation,
giving two separate cartilages to that side of the sternum.
Presented to the Museum by Sir William Blizard, 1816.
du Skeleton of a boy about twelve years of age ; shewing the state of
the bones at that period.
From the British Museum.
6. Skeleton of a child about two years of age.
From the British Museum.
7. The skeleton of Madlle. Crachami, the Sicilian Dwarf; bom in or
near Palermo, in the year 1814. She was exhibited in various
parts of England; and in Bond Street^ London^ during the
summer of 1824^ where she died in the tenth year of her age.
The skeleton measures twenty inches in height.
The following account connected with this extraordinary little skeleton,
is extracted from the fifth volume or supplement to the ** Lectures on
Comparative Anatomy/' by Sir £. Home, Bart., V.P.R.S. Page 191.
" An Italian woman, twenty years of age, when by her reckoning
three months gone with her third child, was travelling in a caravan
with the baggage of the Duke of Wellington's army on the Continent.
In the middle of the night, in a violent storm, when she was fast asleep,
a monkey, that had been chained on the top of the caravan, in its fright
found its way into it, and, as the warmest birth it could find, got under
her loins. Half asleep, she put her hand down to scratch herself; but
scratching the monkey, it bit her fingers, and threw her into fits. She
did not miscarry, but went her full time. The child when bom only
weighed one pound, and measured seven inches in length.
" It was reared with diflficulty, and was carried by its parents to
Ireland, where it became consumptive : it was brought to London, and
shewn as a curiosity : it died just after it completed its ninth year. I
saw it several times while alive, and it came into my possession after
death. Its skeleton is preserved in the Museum of the College of
Surgeons in London, and measures twenty-one inches.
'' jUpon examination of the body after death, the fontanelle was closed.
There was no fat in any part but in the sockets of the eyes, behind the
balls. The uterus had not been developed beyond that contained in a
foetus of fdur months : the bladder was distended with urine to the
size of a hen's egg. As the child had never made water freely from
its birth, the bladder probably had been injured at the time the monkey
alarmed the mother.
** On comparing the ovaria with those of an abortion at three months,
they were nearly of the same size. The child when I saw it could
walk alone, but with no confidence. Its sight was very quick, much
attracted by bright objects, delighted with every thing that glittered,
mightily pleased with fine clothes, had a shrill voice, and spoke in a
low tone; bad some taste for musi^;, but could speak few words of
6
** English ; was very sensible of kindness, and quickly recognised any
*' person who had treated it kindly.
'' The mother has had a fifth child in Ireland, which, like her first
*' three children, is naturally formed.
Presented to the Museum, June 7th, 1824, by Sir E. Home, Bart.
At the suggestion of Sir W. Blizard, the thoracic duct was carefully
examined, but no obstruction appeared to have existed ; and it was,
comparatively speaking, of large size.
The distention of the bladder with urine, mentioned by l^ir £• Home,
might have been consequent upon the irritation of a large blister that had
been applied nearly over the whole of the abdomen.

It was a curious remark made by Dr. Leach, and others who have
examined that immense collection of crania and other bones in the
catacombs at Paris, that the number of adult skulls in which the frontal
suture remained unobliterated was so considerable, that, from a calcu-
lation made on the spot, he estimated the proportion to be at least one in
eleven.

48. A skull found in digging a drain near Whitehall Stairs^ in the rear
of Lord Carrington's house: there were two other skulls and
many loose bones found in the same spot, which fell to pieces
in the attempt to remove them.
It was presumed, and not without probability, that these were the
remains of some of the victims of the civil wars in the reign of Charles
the First, both from the situation in which they were discovered, and
from their being too near each other to have been buried in the usual way,
supposing it ever to have been a place of interment.

55. The skull of a Chinese Ladrone. Male.
This and the following specimen were from two criminals executed at
Macao for piracy and murder, committed in 1816 on board an American
ship. The men were decapitated, and their heads obtained by J. Reeves,
Esq., at Canton, and sent to England by the hands of Captain Stewart
of the Lady Melville to Sir E. Home, for the Museum of the College.
The Ladrones are a cluster of small islands lying off the southern
extremity of China : they are the resort of pirates who infest the mouth
of the river Canton, and have long set the whole naval power of China
at defiance.

63. Skull of a native of South America.
This, and No.'s 64 and 65, were brought to England as examples of the
aboriginal natives of Peru : they were taken from an ancient burial place
in the Island of Titicaca, situated in the middle of the Lake of Chucuito,
in a province of Peru of that name. The Island of Titicaca is <;elebrated
as having been the residence of Manco Copac, the founder of the Peru-
vian nation.

These very singular skulls resemble the Caribean in the great depression
19
of the forehead (particularly in this individual specimen), but here it
does not appear as the mere result of mechanical pressure, but rather as
a peculiar and original conformation. In these specimens also, the fora-
men magnum occupies a much more anterior station in the base of
the skull, than in any cranium with which they have been compared ;
forming a striking contrast, in this particular, with the negro skull.

The Caribs were the ancient inhabitants of the Caribean Islands, the
name applied to that Archipelago which extends in a crescentic form

This skull exhibits the depressed forehead, so peculiar in this race ;
and supposed to be considerably increased, if not produced, by artificial
pressure, applied when young.

This was obtained by Mr. Robert Morison, a naval surgeon, who ac-
companied the African travellers, Messrs. Clapperton and Pearce ; and
who took charge of a box provided by the College, for the preservation of
specimens of natural history. On the journey northwards, towards
Timbuctoo, both himself and Captain Clapperton fell a sacrifice to the
climate. In a letter written previous to his departure from England in
H.M.S. Brazen^ Captain Willis, then lying at Spithead, he said, ^'If I
** take the boxes out with me, I hope to return them by some man of
" war to Portsmouth ; and if I do not, I should hope they would be
'' returned to their proper destination. August, 1826."
Ashantee is a large territory of Africa, immediately behind the Gold
Coast, which was scarcely known till the year 1806. It is considered to
be one of the most powerful and civilized nations in Western Africa.

In this specimen a dislocation of the lower jaw has taken place> on the
left side^ by which the condyloid process has been dislodged from the
glenoid cavity, and slipping forwards, has formed a new joint on the
eminentia articularis. That this displacement has been permanent, ap-
pears, from the adaption of the bony surfaces to each other, and from the
undue wearing of the teeth on that side of the jaw.

From Fort Dalrymple.
A striking similitude exists between this and the preceding skull^ No.
97, in the irregularity of the dentition of the lower jaw, viz. : in having
but three incisors. From the circumstance of the symphysis of the jaw
in both specimens bisecting the alveolar cavity of the central incisor,
and, from the regularity and close approximation of the teeth, even the
natural supposition of one having been extracted at a former period,
can barely be allowed. Though this may be but a casual coincidence,
it is at least curious, and deserving of notice.
Presented by Sr E. Home, Bart., 1809.

This Animal was brought to England by the late Dr. Abel, who
accompanied Lord Amherst, in the Embassy to China, in the year 1817.
It was a native of Borneo, one of the Great Sunda Islands, in the Indian
Ocean. It arrived in England in August, 1817; and survived its trans-
portation to this country until the 1st of April, 1819, during which
period it was in the Menagerie at Exeter Change.
For an interesting and detailed account of the habits of this Animal,
vide Dr. Abel's description.
Its death was accelerated, if not caused, by the irritation consequent
on the cutting of its teeth, which circumstance sufficiently proves its
nonage. The stuffed skin is in the Museum.
Presented by Sir E. Home, Bart., April, 1819.
1^. Skeleton of a young Orang Outang.
Pithecus Satyrus.
Jt is worthy of remark, that in addition to those characteristic differ-
F
34
ences described by various authors, as existing between those nearly
allied Sub-Genera, Pithecus and Troglodytes, two remarkable ones
(though not generally noticed) exist in the number and division of some
of the parts of their skeleton.
In the Pithecus or Orang Outang, the ribs, as in the human body, are
twelve on each side ; but the Sternum differs from that of the Chimpanzee
in being considerably broader in proportion to its. length ; and in • the
second, third, fourth and fifth bones, which compose it, being divided
longitudinally into two parallel rows, the separate portions alternating
with each other, leaving an indented suture between them, which is
particularly distinct in the young animal ; the remains of this separation
may be traced in the supposed Adult or P : Wurmbii.
In the Chimpanzee the ribs are thirteen in number on each side ; an
additional pair being attached to the first lumbar vertebra ; the sternum
in this animal is simply divided in the ordinary manner, into five separate
portions, which are entire; and the sternum is altogether narrower or
more laterally compressed than in the Pithecus.

skull, leaving an aperture in the squamous edge of the temporal bone of
that side. It was known to have been wounded in the head, by an
arrow, a considerable time previous to its death, but little or no attention
was paid to the circumstance, as the animal did not appear to have suf-

Xepus Cuniculus
In. which the incisor teeth have acquired an unusual extent from non-
apposition, the result of an accidental injury to the left incisor of the
lower jaw. It will be observed, that the two auxiliary, or secondary
incisors of the upper jaw are also greatly elongated, in consequence of
the inferior incisors not coming in contact with them. This very satis-
fieictorily explains the use of the small posterior teeth in the natural
state of the jaws — that of protecting the palate from the cutting edges of
the lower incisors in the rapid motions of the jaws during mastication.

The animal from which this, and the succeeding molaris were removed,
was in the employ of the East India Company, and it had been
observed ibr a considorable time previous to their extraction, to show signs
of pain, and restlessness, and to refuse its food ; these circuqistances were
102
particularly noticed by those who had the care of it, from its being pre-
viously a very docile and tractable animal. The cause, however, of this
apparent change in its disposition had never suggested itself, until a
medical officer pointed it out, and offered to remove it, if the animal were
sufficiently secured to prevent any accident to the operator, which might
otherwise occur from the state of irritation induced by the pain it appeared
to be suffering. This being accomplished, a strong ligature was applied
to the exposed portion, and the extraction became a matter, rather of
novelty than difficulty ; the decayed condition of the fangs allowing them
9
to maintain but a slight attachment to the jaws.
The examination of this tooth sufficiently explains the cause of the
difficulty of mastication. The fangs in a state of caries, had lost their
necessary fixture in the alveolar cavity ; thus, allowing the body of the
tooth to fall obliquely from its natural level, the external bony portion or
crusta petrosa, was brought into contact with the opposite tooth : — the
result has been, by an imperfect trituration, an undue wearing of that
part, instead of the extremities of the enamelled denticuli ; which, by
the circumstance mentioned, were completely thrown out of contact.

The history of these skulls (obtained from a memorandum left by
Mr. Hunter), is curious. They are from North Carolina ; and the
animals to which they belonged were two large males, who, in the season
when sexual excitement is strong, becoming unusually pugnacious, were
engaged in fighting, and their horns, as usual, employed as weapons of
offence : these, by violent contact, became so firmly locked within each
other by means of their points or snags, that the animals were incapable
of liberating themselves ; and in this state they were discovered, starved
to death.

Cervus Muntjak. (C. Subcomutus — Blain :)
In this specimen the skull has been destroyed anterior to the mo-
lares ; from which circumstance, a question arose, as to its ever having
possessed thecuspidati or tusks; but from the very striking resemblance it
bears in all other particulars to one from the Himalayan Mountains, in the
Museum, — in which, as usual, these peculiar elongated teeth exist, — but
little doubt need remain on this point.
There appears to be some inaccuracy in the description of this specimen
in Griffith's translation of Cuvier's RSgne Animal {vide Synapsis of the
Species of Mam. Order Ruminantia. Genus Cervus), where it is expressly
stated, that, as variations from the common Muntjak, this specimen has
" the point of the beam turned back, and not towards the opposite horn ;
" pedicles short, strong, not much prolonged down the face, &c." Upon
comparison, however, the curvature of the horns is precisely the same;
the pedicles not only equal, but superior in length, and their only marked
difference appears to be in the shortness of the horns above the burr, and
the greater divergence of their pedicles from each other, than in the other
specimens : all which might be consequent on its age, this being a younger
animal. Presented by Sir E. Home, Bart., 1807.

The following extract connected with these extraordinary horns is
from Mr. Salt's Travels in Abyssinia, p. 258, where he says: — ** Here
** (Gibba) for the first time, I was gratified by the sight of the Galla
** Oxen, or Sanga, celebrated throughout Abyssinia for the remarkable
" size of their horns. Three of these animals were grazing among the
" other cattle, in perfect health ; which circumstance, together with the
** testimony of the natives, * that the size of the horns is in no instance
** * occasioned by disease,' completely refutes the fanciful theory given by
** Mr. Bruce respecting this creature. It appears by the papers annexed
'' to the last edition of Mr. Bruce's work, that he never met with the
" Sanga, but that he made many attempts to procure specimens of the
" horns through Yanni, a Greek, residing at Adowa. This old man very
*' correctly speaks of them, in his letters, as being brought only by the
'* Cafilas from Antdlo ; and I have now ascertained that they are sent to
158
" this country as valuable presents by the chiefe of the Galla, whose
** tribes are spread to the southward of Enderta. So far then, as to the
" description of the horns and the purposes to which they are applied by
" the Abyssinians, Mr. Bruce's statements may be considered to be cor-
** rect; but with respect to * the disease which occasions their size,
** * probably derived from their pasture and climate ;' * the care taken of
** * them to encourage the progress of this disease;' ' the emaciation of
** * the animal;' and the * extending of the disorder to the spine of the
" * neck, which at last becomes callous, so that it is not any longer in
" * the power of the animal to lift its head ;' they all prove to be merely
** ingenious conjectures, thrown out by the author solely for the exercise
*' of his own ingenuity. I should not venture to speak so positively on
" this matter, had I not indisputably ascertained the facts ; for the Ras
*' having subsequently made me a present of three of these animals alive,
** I found them not only in excellent health, but so exceedingly wild,
** that I was obliged to have them shot.
" The horns of one of these are now deposited in the Museum of the
** College of Surgeons, and a still larger pair are placed in the collection
** of Lord Valentia (now Earl Mountnorris) at Arley Hall. The length
'* of the largest horn of this description which I met with, was nearly
" four feet, and its circumference at the base twenty-one inches. It
" might have been expected, that the animal carrying horns of so extra-

For a description of the external figure of the animal, vide an account
by the late Dr. Roxburgh, in the seventh volume of the Asiatic Researches,
for the year 1781.
The following is extracted from Home's Comp. Anat. Vol. III. p. 115.
" A specimen of the upper and lower jaw of the delphinus gangeticus
" was given to me, seventeen years ago, by the late Sir Joseph Banks,
'' and has been deposited ever since in the Hunterian Collection ; but it was
" only the other day that an accidental reference to the Asiatic Researches
** led us to discover the animal to which they belong. The singularity
164
'^ of the^ form of the teeth made this specimen always a remarkable
'' object ; and now the animal is known, a description of them becomes
** interesting and highly deserving of attention.
'' The jaws and teeth form the most remarkable characters of this
species of delphinus ; and a knowledge of them will not only interest
the naturalist and comparative anatomist, but enable the geologist,
when fossil teeth are found of this shape, readily to determine the
species of animal to which they had belonged. These teeth, as is
common in those of the whale tribe, have the first rudiments formed
in the gum, from which the tooth grows in both directions: upwards
through the gum in the form of the point of a flattened cone, which is
coated with enamel ; and downwards towards the jaw, increasing
considerably in breadth, but not in thickness, till it is at last imbedded
in the substance of the jaw itself: the lower portion has no enamel.
The change that takes place in the form of the tooth as it wears away
from long use, is more remarkable than in most other teeth ; for the
perfect tooth has a tolerably sharp enamelled point, while the worn
one has a curved blunted cutting edge. The teeth in front of the jaw
" are more like the incisors in other animals. The whole number in both
jaws exactly corresponds with that given by Dr. Roxburgh, and iden-
tifies these jaws as belonging to the animal which he has described."
The specimen above alluded to was given by Dr. Roxburgh to Sir
J. Banks, and by him presented to the Museum, through the hands of
Sir E. Home, Bart.

The following extract, from the Oss. Foss. Vol. I. p. 336, serves to

synonyms of different authors, regarding this species; a confusion, indeed,
in which the whole of the Cetacea seem still much involved.

Much uncertainty has existed in identifying this species of Hornbill ;
183
partly from its being by no means a common one (the head and mandibles
alone having been described by Levaillant and others), and partly from
the great variations observed in many individuals of other species of the
same genus, which are only referrable to the difference of age or sex.
Levaillant believes this (the Flat-crowned Hombill) to be of the Bontian
or Indian species fCorvtisIndicusBonlU — Ray.Buceros Hydrocorax — Lath:)
in its most complete state ; while at the same time, he considers the last
named species, as no other than a young example of the Concave Hom-
bill fBuceros cavatusj in its first year's plumage. If such be really the
case, the arrangement of the animals of this genus would be rendered
more simple, and the confusion as Dr. Shaw justly observes, arising from
an unnecessary multiplication of species be avoided.

Latham, in his History of Birds ^ ed. 1822. vol. ii. p. 280, when giving
the generic characters of the Toucan, mentions but one smooth-billed
species, as an exception to the others ; all of which, he observes, have the
edges of their mandibles more or less irregularly notched or serrated.
Ramphastos glaber is the species cited, as differing in this particular from
the rest ; although in most other respects, resembling the female of the
Green-winged Toucan, (R. Viridis.) The bird from which the above ske-
leton was made, was in a living state in the menagerie at Exeter 'Change,
and appeared to be full grown. Except in the circumstances of the edges
of the bill being perfectly smooth, (which, if observed, is omitted by
Latham,) and in the general colour of the body, which was a dusky gray,
the rest of the plumage and external characters strictly corresponded with
his description of the black-billed species.

1301. The left tarsus of a domestic Fowl, which was the subject of an
experiment made by Mr. Hunter, to illustrate the growth of
bone.
The length of the bone at the time of the experiment was 2 inches
7-8ths, and the extent of the space included between two small apertures
made by cauterization near each of its extremities, was 1 inch 8-12ths;
the growth of the bone was, subsequently, allowed to continue for a
certain period, when the animal was killed. The length of the bone was
then found to have increased to 3 inches 5-8ths, while the space between
the apertures was 1 inch ll-12ths; the addition beyond the points of
cauterization being more than double that of the increase of the space
between them.

In this instance the bone, when young/ was perforated near each ex-

the shots, 1 inch 5-8ths. The length in its present state is 3 inches 7-8ths,
the distance between the shots, which are now in the medullary cavity,
having undergone vo visible increase.

Prepared by Mr. Andr6.
In this and the following specimens, the peculiar course of the trachea
within the carina of the sternum is shown. To the great length of
the windpipe in this species, is to be attributed the remarkably loud
and harsh voice the animal possesses, from whence the name Hooper,
or Whistling Swan, has been derived ; and is applied in contradistinction to
the domestic or Mute Swan, in which, as in most other birds, the trachea
proceeds at once to the lungs, without entering the sternum.
In the female of the wild species, the course of the trachea is much
more limited than in the male, seldom penetrating the sternum to a
greater extent than from three to four inches.

has, however, pointed out the difference existing between them, in a
paper on that subject in the Linnsean transactions, accompanied by
figures representing the state of the trachea in birds of his newly
described species at different ages; in which the horizontal situation
of the trachea within the flat part of the sternum, in addition to the
vertical course it takes in the interior of the carina, is shown.

" Habitat.— r
" Of this elegant species I have seen but a single specimen, now in my
*' collection, which, as I obtained it from a dealer, who bad Iqog* pos^eaied
" it, may, not improbably, be the identical one figured by Shaw, and
" stated by him to have been in the Leverian Museum. "
" The general colour of the upper shell is a very deep blackish brown ;
" the sternum and under part of the margin yellowish."
" As the brief account given by Dr. Shaw of this interesting species is
'* extremely vague and unsatisfactory, I have thought it necessary to enter
" into a more detailed description of it ; and have named it in honour to
'' that naturalist. It is remarkable that he should for one moment have
" considered it as a variety of Testudo Pennsylvanica (Gmel:) to which it
" bears scarcely the least general resemblance, and from which it differs
*' in so many essential characters. Of the stmmal itself unfortuAately
*' nothing is known."
The original specimen however, alluded to by Mr. Bell, and figured by
Dr. Shaw, was purchased by the College at the sale of the Leverian
Museum, in the year 1806.

" The skeleton is very singular, many of the bones having tumours,
'^ which, in the first fish I saw, I supposed to be exostoses arising from
'' disease; but on dissecting a second, I found the corresponding bones had
" exactly the same tumours, and the fishermen informed me they were
" always found in this fish : I therefore conclude them to be natural to it.
" In Mr. Hunter's collection are two or three of these bones, but I never
" knew what fish they belonged to; they were supposed to be from the
*' back of some of the large Rays. What advantage can arise from these
" large tumours is difficult to say. Those on the spines of the vertebrae
** seem to answer no evident purpose, nor those at the origin of the dorsal
** and anal fins. The particular form of the sternum, to which the ventral
28§
''fins are joined, seems to be intended to give gneater surfoce for 'the
" attachment of the muscles, and to increase their action.'' — Extract from

'* mouth, and each side of the chin furnished with a filament ; the first
* ray of the dorsal and pectoral fins serrated towards the point, which is
* unconnected with the second ray ; the second ray very much elongated
* and attenuated ; the lacinise of the tail acute."
'* Obs. — The first ray of the dorsal fin is only serrated towards its
* point, the unconnected apex itself being destitute of teeth. The first
' ray of the pectoral fins is serrated above the unattached part, and the
'* teeth are continued downwards to near its middle. It is akin to
* Silurus mystus (Geoff: Pois de Nil), but may be easily distinguished
' from it by the characters of the pectoral fins, and by the presence of
^ the filaments on the chin. The filaments of the chin and nostrils are
* nearly of equal length; those of the angles of the mouth are very
^ long."

Pristis ; considering the variation in the form of the rostrum, and its
spines or teeth, as affording sufficient characters for its division into
species, of which he enumerates five, viz : —
1. Pristis Antiqwrum. — The rostrum broad at its base, with, from
eighteen to twenty-four spines on each side, thick and channelled
at their posterior part, inclining to an edge in front.
2. Pristis Pectinatus. — The rostrum narrower than the preceding in
proportion to its length ; spines longer and more slender, varying
from twenty-five to thirty-six on each side.
3. Pristis Ctispidatus.— Spines broad, flat, and lancet-formed ; twenty-
eight on each side.
4. Pristis Microdon. — Rostrum long, spines exceedingly short. The
specimen to which this name was applied was but twenty-eight
inches in length, and, most probably, a young animal, when the
shortness of the spines would be the consequence of their being
nearly concealed by a membrane that extends itself laterally on
each side of the snout, sometimes even to the extremity of the
spines, which, however, disappears in the adult.
5. Pristis Cirratus. — Rostrum long; spines very numerous, varying in
length ; having from three to five smaller ones interposed between
the longer spines, which are sharp-pointed, and slightly recurva ted:
there is also a secondary marginal set of small spines on the under
surface of the rostrum — eighteen on each side : two cirri also
arise, one on either side — about mid-way from the under part of
the snout.
The number of specimens contained in the Museum allowing an oppor-
tunity of extensive comparison, they have been arranged according to
Dr. Latham's division ; retaining, however, at the same time, the Linnsean
name.
